Is it possible to pass a pointer of a class member function into a thread ?? I have no problems passing functions (or pointers to functions rather) which are not members of any classes. However when I try to pass member functions, I get compile errors. I am using MSVS 6.0 on win 2000. The following is a simplified model of my situation. I am trying to create a thread inside a function of one class and pass into it, a pointer of a member function of another class: // all necessary includes; class testClass1 { public: // constructor testClass1() { // init code} ~testClass1() {} void fun1() { // some code} }; class testClass2 { testClass2() { // init code} ~testClass2() {} // SEE HERE PLEASE void fun2() { // some code.. boost::thread myThread(&object1.fun1) ; // PROBLEM HERE // more code... } testClass1 object1; }; int main(int argc, char **argv) { testClass2 class2; // some code... class2.fun2(); // more code.... return 0; } Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Peter
